Any personal expenses, optional activities, and tips are not included.

International flights to and from Kathmandu are not part of the €675 package. The price only includes internal transfers, such as the airport pick‑up and drop‑off in Kathmandu, and all overland travel during the eight‑day itinerary.

Yes. Extras may include personal souvenirs, additional meals not listed in the itinerary, optional activities like a second rafting run, spa treatments, and any gratuities for guides or drivers. Travelers should also budget for a daily allowance for drinks, snacks, and incidentals.

The operator accepts major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express) for the full amount at booking. Some agencies may offer an installment plan, but that depends on the specific booking platform. You should check the payment options on the booking page or contact the provider directly for installment details.

Cancellations made more than 30 days before the start date receive a full refund minus a processing fee. Between 30 and 14 days, 50 % of the total price is refunded. Cancellations within 14 days of departure are non‑refundable. All refunds are processed in the original currency (EUR).

Travel insurance is not mandatory for booking, but it is strongly recommended. The itinerary includes river rafting, jungle walking, and a sunrise hike, which are considered adventure activities. A policy covering medical evacuation, personal injury, and trip interruption will protect you against unforeseen events.

The tour runs on multiple departure dates throughout the year; each departure begins on a Monday. The first meeting point in Kathmandu is typically at 08:00 am at the designated hotel lobby in Thamel. Exact dates and times are confirmed in the booking confirmation.

Participants gather at the lobby of the pre‑assigned hotel in the Thamel district, which is the central hub for most tour operators. The specific hotel name is provided after booking, and the address is included in the pre‑tour information email.

Each traveler may bring one large suitcase (up to 23 kg) and one personal daypack. The vehicle used for overland travel has a combined luggage capacity of about 150 kg, which is usually sufficient for a group of 12‑20 people. Excess weight may incur an additional fee.

Yes. The package includes a private transfer from Tribhuvan International Airport to the hotel on the first day and the return transfer from the hotel to the airport at the end of the tour. Transfers are provided in an air‑conditioned vehicle with a local driver.

A visa is required for most foreign nationals entering Nepal. The tour operator can arrange a tourist visa on arrival at Tribhuvan Airport for a fee, or you may obtain it in advance from a Nepali embassy. Visa requirements vary by nationality, so verify your specific situation before departure.

You will need a passport valid for at least six months beyond your intended stay, a completed visa application form, a passport‑size photo, and the visa fee (USD 30 for a 15‑day visa, USD 50 for a 30‑day visa). If you apply in advance, you may also need a copy of your flight itinerary.

Travel insurance is not a legal requirement for entry, but the tour operator strongly advises it because the itinerary includes adventure activities such as rafting and jungle walking. Some activities may require proof of insurance, so carrying a policy that covers medical evacuation and adventure sports is prudent.

Moderate fitness is recommended. The Trisuli River rafting is class II‑III, suitable for participants who are comfortable with basic water activities and can sit in a raft for several hours. The Sarangkot hike involves a gradual ascent of about 1,500 m over 2‑3 hours, requiring good stamina but no technical climbing skills.

The tour is family‑friendly for children aged 8 years and older. River rafting on the Trisuli River is limited to participants 8 years or older, and the elephant‑back safari also has a minimum age of 8. Parents should assess each child’s comfort with water activities and moderate hikes.

Solo travelers are welcome and can join the existing group without a single‑supplement charge. The group size typically ranges from 12 to 20 participants, providing a social environment while keeping the experience intimate. No extra fee is added for traveling alone.

The itinerary includes Boudhanath Stupa, Pashupatinath Temple, Bhaktapur Durbar Square, Patan’s historic temples, a scenic drive to Chitwan National Park, Trisuli River rafting, an elephant‑back safari, canoeing, jungle walking, early‑morning bird‑watching, sunrise at Sarangkot, Bindabashini Temple, Davis Falls, a Tibetan refugee camp, and a boat ride on Fewa Lake. Each site is visited with a guide and includes entrance fees.

Yes. The schedule includes short free‑time periods in Kathmandu after the city tours, a few hours in Pokhara after the sunrise hike and lake activities, and an optional evening in Chitwan for guests who wish to explore the park’s surroundings independently. Exact free‑time slots are listed in the daily itinerary.

For travelers visiting Nepal for the first time, this tour offers a balanced mix of cultural sites, wildlife experiences, and light adventure. It covers the most iconic destinations—Kathmandu’s heritage sites, Chitwan’s jungle, and Pokhara’s lake region—while providing a guide who can handle logistics and safety, which many first‑timers find helpful.

The tour delivers the greatest value to active travelers who enjoy cultural immersion combined with moderate adventure, such as rafting and hiking. It also suits small groups or solo travelers who prefer a structured itinerary with a knowledgeable guide, as well as families with older children who can participate in most activities.

Pack lightweight, breathable clothing for warm days, a warm jacket for early mornings in Sarangkot, sturdy walking shoes, a swimsuit for rafting and canoeing, a hat, sunscreen, and a reusable water bottle. A small daypack for daily excursions, a rain poncho, and any personal medication are also advisable. Bring a power bank for charging devices on the road.

Booking the guided tour for €675 typically includes group discounts on accommodation, transportation, and activity fees that are higher when booked individually. Independently arranging the same itinerary would require separate bookings for hotels, private drivers, rafting permits, and safari tickets, often resulting in a higher total cost and additional time spent on logistics.

While it is possible to visit the major sites on your own, the tour provides coordinated logistics, local guides fluent in English, and pre‑arranged permits for activities like rafting and the elephant safari. These elements reduce the risk of missing entry times, ensure safety on adventure activities, and give cultural context that may be harder to obtain independently.
